CVE-2025-3053: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in admintwentytwenty UiPress lite | Effortless custom dashboards, admin themes and pages
The UiPress lite | Effortless custom dashboards, admin themes and pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.07 via the uip_process_form_input() function. This is due to the function taking user supplied inputs to execute arbitrary functions with arbitrary data, and does not have any sort of capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary code on the server.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The UiPress lite plugin for WordPress contains a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in the uip_process_form_input() function. This function executes user-supplied inputs as code without verifying user capabilities, enabling authenticated attackers with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to perform remote code execution on the server. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.5.07. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the WordPress site. This can lead to full system compromise, including unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, and disruption of service. The vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the UiPress lite plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security advisories to apply an official patch promptly once available.
